p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Beyond my comfort zone...


I'm trying not to post too many weddings back to back, but I'd love to get some feedback on this most recent wedding that I did. It was at the Tendenza in Philly and I was definitely pushed out of my comfort zone shooting there. I'm used to weddings in the suburbs with lots of trees and beautiful backdrops. At this wedding I had the choice between a brick wall outside and a brick wall inside, and a few other spots. I usually only use flash at the reception, but I pretty much used flash throughout the entire day on this one.

A lot of these shots are with techniques I'm not completely comfortable with using, and in an environment that was somewhat foreign to me. C+C would be great!

These are great! Only thing that bugs me is the FoB's expression in 5 and 6 (but that's not your fault really)

It looks like you did a fine - solid job.
Like the different perspective.
By the coverage presented here ... i don't miss the trees.

You really did a nice job. there is variety and you captured some nice moments.
Little things like #20 ... this cool blue background and then disappears around the couple ... looks off.
But that may be just me.

I like the B&W processing.

you should get out of your comfort zone more often.... probably gets the gray matter working.

Someone forgot to give the FoB his happy pill that morning.

Looks great man. You nailed it. Hit me up next time you're shooting there, we'll get an after wedding beer. I live literally across the street.

Thanks Mark! I feel the same way about #20, but when I tried to fix it, it looked worse. I used my 600ex rt with a gel and grid on that one, and it created that white halo around them. Maybe I'll keep working on that one.

Getting out of my comfort zone definitely gets the gray matter working, but I always get scared that I'm going to blow it!

Nice. And nice venue, actually... I love when a venue is lit like this, makes for some really beautiful, dramatic photos.

getting out of your comfort zone seems to work quite well for you. Love the use of the Gels especially on the Cake shot.

Can you explain that one a little bit more?

I just did a wedding this weekend and where the cake was at our wedding it didn't have any nice fancy back ground colored lights. I lit mine fairly well on its own but the back ground on mien is so blah..
was wondering if the back ground color in yours was added by you with another flash and gel or if that color was already there.

Great set, would have liked to see 11 a little wider, hands are too high in 20. Overall, very well done.

The pics are great. Very good processing and composition. I was most impressed with the lighting, were to achieve that beautiful lighting with just speedlites?

Thanks! It was all lit with Canon 600ex rt's, sometimes modified with grids, gels and the rouge flash bender
